In this two-part program, award-winning clay artist Mitch Lyons shares with you some of the unuque handbuilding techniques he has developed over the past four decades. In the first second, he shows how to apply various textures, colored clays, and colored slips using his "Broomstick" method for making ceramic forms without a seam. The second section demonstrates "Handbuilding on the Wheel".

  • Love your creative ideas!!

  • good to someone else using a kick wheel. I started throwing about 4 years ago @ a community college and was the only person to use the kick wheel they had. I know no one personally to use the kick wheel for throwing. They are offer much more control than electric. Great video btw.

  • I am very glad I watched this vid, I loved it and watched it 3 times so far. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing.  Regards, June

  • Fascinating techniques shown by a quiet creative master.............enjoyed this so much. Thank you Mitch from Canada.

  • Can't wait for tomorrow morning so I can do this myself!! this is really cool. I never paid much attention to Mitch Lyons (sorry) but I am really impressed...and I have done handbuilding for well over 20 years....Never to late to open one's imagination and let in new techniques....thanks Mitch....this is very appreciated...and I do have A LOT of newsprints and A LOT of Mason stains and oh boy do I have CLAY.....:)

  • I really like the techniques you have demonstrated... please show more what is the difference between colored clay or musing some slip thru the clay?

    Thank  You

  • I had never seen this technique. I really like it. How do you color the slips?

  • What exactly is the pastel you are referring to? It looks like a chalk.

  • I like this. Where do you get the colored slip and the newsprint?
